Jesus’ homily, which has been preserved in Matthew 6:19-24, contributes a small but priceless piece to a larger canvas—stewardship in the faith and piety of late Second Temple-period Judaism.
The Messianic Consciousness of Jesus: Lesson 09
Lesson Nine deals with Jesus’ riddle about the Messiah and David’s Son (Matt. 22:41-46; Mark 12:35-37; Luke 20:41-44) and the Healing of the Paralyzed Man story (Matt. 9:1-8; Mark 2:1-12; Luke 5:17-26).
Hebrew Nuggets, Lesson 30: Lord
(Matt. 6:24; Luke 16:13)
“And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal habitations…If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you the true riches?”
Lilies of the Field
They don’t today, and that is why many believe that the “lilies of the field” in Matthew 6:28 and Luke 12:27 does not refer to the beautiful and now rare Madonna Lily, Lilium candidum…. Several wildflowers native to Israel have been suggested in its place for “lilies of the field” in Matthew 6 and Luke 12.

“Wonders and Accusations” complex
The two pericopae we have in mind are Bedridden Man (Matt. 9:2-8; Mark 2:1-12; Luke 5:17-26) and The Finger of God (Matt. 9:32-34; 12:22-28; Mark 3:22-26; Luke 11:14-20)…. They brought to him” (Bedridden Man: Matt. 9:2; cf. Luke 5:18; The Finger of God: Matt. 9:32) and then mention the condition of the sick or demon-possessed person. In both stories the positive response to Jesus’ wondrous deed includes a confession that the like has never happened before (Bedridden Man: Mark 2:12; The Finger of God: Matt. 9:33). In both stories Jesus “knows the thoughts” of his accusers (Bedridden Man: Matt. 9:4; Mark 2:8; Luke 5:22; The Finger of God: Matt. 12:25; Luke 11:17), and it may be that in both stories the accusers were originally identified as “some of them” (i.e., some of the people in the crowds) (The Finger of God: Luke 11:15).
Which is the most accurate English translation of the Bible?
Updated: 24 November 2023
Which Bible translation is the “most accurate” is a question that is frequently asked, and it is a common search on the internet. Perhaps that’s how you came to this web page.
Book Review: James Tabor’s The Jesus Dynasty
Chancey argues that the famous “centurion” of Matt. 8:5-13 ∥ Luke 7:1-10 was not a Roman soldier, but rather a (non-Jewish) Herodian soldier (ibid., 50-56).

One of the “longer” gospel stories that Lindsey has suggested is composed of four passages: Luke 10:38-42; Matthew 6:25-34 (= Luke 12:22-31); Luke 12:16-20; and Luke 16:19-31…. “Worry” ties together the first two fragments, the incident from Luke 10:38-42 and the teaching from Matthew 6:25-34 (=

I hope at a later point to give more full attention to what may be considered Jesus’ three pillars (or principles) of spirituality that are outlined in Matthew 6:1-18. At this juncture it is sufficient to state what they are: acts of loving-kindness (Matt. 6:1-4), prayer (Matt. 6:5-6), and repentance/fasting (Matt. 6:16-18)…. Should we assume that Jesus’ ordering of his own spiritual pillars in Matthew 6 likewise indicates a prioritization? In Matt. 9:14 certain of John’s disciples approach Jesus with the question about fasting. One of Jesus’ sayings regarding judging is nearly identical to other rabbinic sayings on the subject: “For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you” (Matt. 7:2; Luke 6:38).
